So it generates electricty at night you say? Is there a drop in power generated?

Did you read the article? ALL the power it generates is stored as heat in dense salt water, which is released to power turbine producing electricity. The heat lasts through most of the night, so solar thermal is not quite a 24 hour solution to electricity generation.

I guess I don't understand your question? Are you denying this technology that has been used and measured for years?
